POLL: Should Broncos go after Eli Manning in 2018?

With their season over, the New York Giants have benched Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith, a sign that the veteran quarterback’s time in the Big Apple is coming to an end. Manning still has two more years remaining on his contract but it’s hard to picture him playing for the Giants in 2018.

Manning, the younger brother of future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, will undoubtedly have plenty of suitors next offseason. Should the Denver Broncos be among them?

Broncos coach Vance Joseph decided to bench Trevor Siemian after seven starts this year and the former seventh-round pick likely would have remained on the sideline if Paxton Lynch did not suffer a high ankle sprain. If Siemian remains in Denver, he will likely be a backup in 2018.

Brock Osweiler’s contract expires after the 2017 season and Lynch may have some trade value as a former first-round pick. It wouldn’t be surprising if Chad Kelly is the only quarterback the Broncos keep on the roster next season.

Kelly has potential, but they’re probably not going to start him, at least not initially. So they could bring in an established veteran — such as Manning, a two-time Super Bowl champion — or target a top prospect in the draft.

Manning, 36, has thrown for 50,625 yards with 334 touchdown passes and 222 interceptions since entering the NFL in 2004.
